HAMPTON — Less than a week after Darriean Hess, 19, of Seabrook, allegedly killed two bicyclists during the annual Granite State Wheelman Tri-State Seacoast Century Ride she was out on bail, according to officials at the Rockingham County House of Corrections.

Jail officials confirmed Friday afternoon that Hess' family bailed her out and she is now in their custody.

It was the end of a week filled with questions, anger, court hearings and plenty of media members scrambling to try to understand what happened in the hours leading up to the tragic crash which killed Pamela Wells, 60, of South Hamilton, Mass. and Elise Bouchard, 52, of Danvers, Mass.

Uwe Uhmeyer, 60, of Essex, Mass. and Margo Heigh, 54, of Danvers, Mass. were also seriously injured in the crash.

So far, these are the highlights of the case:

■ On Saturday, Sept. 21, at 12:46 a.m. a Hampton police officer pulled Hess over as she was crossing the Neil R. Underwood Memorial Bridge. Hess was clocked at 59 mph and was traveling in a 30 mph zone.

Hess admitted that she did not have a valid driver's license and was ticketed for speeding and operating a vehicle without a motor vehicle license. At the time she was driving a 2002 Honda Civic registered to her fiancee Scott Martin, 20, of Seabrook.

The police officer who stopped her had Hess wait until a friend picked her up from the scene. She waited for a ride and left the scene without incident.

■ Some time after 1:30 a.m. Cindy Sheppard, 48, of Hampton, sold Hess the powerful painkiller fentanyl. She has been charged with one felony count for the sale of a controlled narcotic drug for that offense.

Sheppard was also charged with allowing an improper person to operate a motor vehicle. That is a violation level offense. Following her arraignment Thursday, she was held at $10,000 cash bail.

■ At approximately 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning, Hess was crossing the same bridge she was stopped on hours earlier and she crossed the double yellow lines as she headed southbound. A retired major from the N.H. State Police, David Kelley, witnessed the crash. He said Hess did not stop even though there were “multiple bicyclists tossed from their bicycles as a result of the collision.” Instead, Hess allegedly continued down the roadway in the northbound lane.

Eventually, Hess crossed back into the southbound lane and then into the breakdown lane where she continued to crash into roadway delineators, coming to rest on top of parts of a wooden Seabrook town sign, Kelley said.

Kelley said in a witness statement that Hess admitted she had “taken her eyes off the road for a few seconds.”

■ On Tuesday, Rockingham County attorney Jim Reams announced that Hess had been arrested and charged with two Class B felony counts of negligent homicide and two Class B felony counts of second-degree assault. At that time Reams said excessive speed was a contributing factor in the case.

■ On Wednesday, Hess was arraigned in Hampton Circuit court. Judge Mark Weaver heard prosecutor Sgt. Barry Newcomb's argument that Hess should be held on $50,000 “cash and cash only bail.” He claimed she was a danger to the public and a potential flight risk.

Anthony Naro, the public defender assigned to Hess, argued that she was a 19-year-old girl with substantial ties to the community. He asked that bail be dropped to $15,000 cash or corporate surety because that is what the family could afford.

Judge Weaver decided to set bail at $50,000 cash or corporate surety.

■ On Thursday police announced Martin was charged with a violation for allowing Hess to drive his car knowing she did not have a driver's license.

■ On Friday, Hess was free on bail.

So just how did Darriean Hess get to where she is today?

That is a question left to be answered by her attorney during upcoming court proceedings.

As of now, reporters know that she moved here from Alaska with a few family members including her siblings Cassandra and Magnus Hess, Hess' mother is deceased, Hess was not enrolled at the University of New Hampshire and that before taking down her Facebook page Hess posted pictures of herself in seductive outfits, including club clothes. She also bragged about Martin speeding online.
